    Abstract: A vehicle is provided that includes a capacitor situated on the vehicle adapted to be charged by a source separate from the vehicle. The capacitor is adapted to be charged at a rate faster than a maximum charge rate of a battery of the vehicle. The vehicle also includes a charging circuit coupled to the capacitor and adapted to receive electrical charge from the capacitor and regulate the flow of electrical charge below the maximum charge rate of the battery. The vehicle also includes the battery coupled to the charging circuit and adapted to be charged by electrical charge flowing from the capacitor through the charging circuit, and an electric motor adapted to be energized by the battery to propel the vehicle. A method for operating a vehicle is provided that includes charging a capacitor arranged in the vehicle from a source separate from the vehicle.

    Abstract: In one aspect of the present invention, a compressor system includes a compressor shaft for generating compressed air, a clutch that, when engaged, transfers power from a vehicle engine to drive the compressor shaft and that, when disengaged, does not transfers power from the vehicle engine to drive the compressor shaft. An electric motor that, when activated, drives the compressor shaft. A control module that sets the compressor into one of at least three modes of operation as a function of respective statuses of various vehicle components. The compressor shaft is driven by both the clutch and the electric motor during at least one of the modes.

    Abstract: An electric vehicle powered and recharged by multiple redundant independent kinetic energy charging systems to ensure extended operation of the vehicle. While driving, each kinetic energy charging system is responsive to wheel rotation for generating electricity for storage thereof at the vehicle. Redundant kinetic energy charging systems include: a Center Hub kinetic recharger system, a Rear Hub kinetic recharger system, and a Hubless Tire kinetic recharger system. The power generated from each charging system is routed to a smart charge combiner to combine generated electricity output and a smart ultracapacitor energy storage system that stores combined electricity output. The stored charge can power a vehicle battery or battery bank under control of a smart charge controller to extend an operating range of the vehicle without recharging. The ultracapacitor storage system is configured in a portable energy storage unit removable from the vehicle and adapted for delivering electricity to other devices.

    Abstract: Systems and methods include providing an aircraft with a flight control system, a hybrid electrical or hybrid hydraulic propulsion system, and three ducted fan configuration. Each of two ducted fore fans include a single rotor system having multiple rotor blades, and a single ducted aft fan includes dual, coaxial, counter-rotating rotor systems each having multiple rotor blades. The aircraft is a vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft that is capable of operation in an airplane mode and a helicopter mode and designed to provide an urban air-taxi that would relieve ground traffic congestion, reduce carbon emissions, and increase productivity, thereby providing a faster, more efficient means of transportation.
